ST JOHNSTONE chairman Steve Brown is set to tie Tommy Wright down on a new deal after admitting he expects his boss to be in demand after his Scottish Cup heroics.

Wright has just one year left on his contract and Brown will hold talks with the 50-year-old over an extension this week after landing the club’s first piece of major silverware.

Brown labelled his manager as the greatest Saints gaffer of all time following his trophy win thanks to Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Dundee United and hopes he sticks around Perth for the long haul.

Former McDiarmid Park bosses Owen Coyle and Derek McInnes, left, joined Burnley and Bristol City respectively after being in charge in Perth yet neither managed to achieve what Wright did in winning a trophy.
